Conversation was killed by millennials' overposting of graphical memes and the unhealthy obsession a certain clique of poor posters has with a fat Hindu.

Chuckled hard at that one. @stringertom doesn't this fellow deserve to be an honorary member of the Vortex?

This has turned into a classic thread, well done OP!

Don't worry fellers, Novak Djokovic, the Heavyweight Champion of the World will assert his stamp of authority at Indian Wells.

(p.s. I am taking over the baton from @Hitman from today).

Adje !!!!

Strong TTW era when @tipsa...don'tlikehim! , LazyNinja19, Chico, TheDarkKnight, TheWolfofTTW (or Lone wolf??), @Sentinel , 5555 posted regularly is long gone by. Now you have the weak era trolls like ArcspacE and Fed-nut huggers running the grounds.

Good thing I'm not a Federer nut hugger.

In fact I just posted some nutritional reasons why Nutella is fake and processed in @MichaelNadal's thread about Nishikori's cup and noodle.

I'm a 90s kid! Only I remember certain inconsequential things from the 90s!

I've never heard of audio memes so I just assumed all memes were graphical!

Tennis needs something for everyone to talk about. The Djokovic juggernaut is stalled for now and either it has to resume or a new story around another player has to happen for people to get excited about. As SoD put it, right now it's same old same old. While that (say yet another Fedal match) may get fans talking during the slams, I don't think an IW encounter would have any great novelty about it. I mean, I would be curious to see how Fed's backhand holds up on a slow, high bouncing surface but it is interesting only at that level and is not very relevant for the overall rivalry at this point. All those who whined non stop about Djokovic's reign of terror will realise that at least having a challenger hot on the heels of Fedal created a buzz about tennis which is sorely missing right now. Even though we had Fedal play an epic AO final. Because people don't really expect it to repeat anytime soon. They/we sense it's probably a one off freak show.

Thank you for confirming that you have been around that long.

And that you are wrong as usual.

:(
Periodically used to read it after atp tour stopped the comments section. Found it not worth joining as it was a nadal fan v djokovix fan pissing contest. Federer barely mentioned. However some of the drivel since australia required a response.

IF they weren't here for a decade, how do you know who they are?

In fact, since you just joined us recently, it appears like you were the one who disappeared :D
You dont need to be a member to read the posts...something i would think thousands in fact do.

Not everyone has the time to sit posting messages on forums .

10 years ago it was Nadal fans vs. Djokovic fans pissing contest?

Federer barely mentioned?

Time for you to make (probably yet another) registration.

This one ended not so well.

:cool:
 
Federer fans were silent for a long time . Will be again in a few days

Some ************* members are complaining that TTW is a "Federer house" and some like you are saying that Federer fans were silent.

For the record: Federer fans do not speak only when Federer plays Nadal, because Federer has been relevant for his entire career (and also in the last several years, that you spent in coma), which cannot be said about Nadal. Federer was playing GS finals, when Nadal was in the gutter having "confidence issues"

You need a reality check (and a new identity).

:cool:

Federer has been irrelevant from 2012 until 2017. Not one major win in that time. I hope nadal and djokovic dont have a 5 year spell not winning majors!!

As for other issues there are many non federer fans who claim that when whining fedefer fans lose the argument they go crying to the mods to get people banned...which is self defeating of course as it proves they cant handle being pur down on a forum.

A player that has been to multiple Majors finals is anything but irrelevant.

However, that was not your point.

Your point was that Federer becomes relevant to Federer's supporters only when he plays Nadal, which is clearly not true, as (luckily) we have had a great time with his game for any period of time since he started playing.

Clearly, you are trying to forget that, since you don't mention the debates concerning the Djokovic-Federer rivalry of the past several years, for which there was plenty of discussion.

As for your last sentence: you are a pitiful bunch. You are offensive to the point of impropriety and you complain that you are being banned all the time and your posts deleted?

It has nothing to do with being happy with someone's oppinion as I am yet to hear that someone is banned or his posts deleted just because he had an opinion.

Thats what is written on other forums. No point whining to me go and fight your corner there.

At the highest level ultimately winning is what counts. No prizes for being runner up. I didnt see any federer fans saying nadal did great in australia. So as usual with the fedfanboy brigade its the usual duplicity.

Five years and no majors. Lets hope nadal bags the fo. Then its been a good start to 2017.

I don't know what other forums have to do with your opinion here.

Are you not expressing your own views and if not why are you not indicating this clearly?

What you say about winning is very different from what you were saying previously, so you indirectly admitted that you are simply trolling.

As to Federer fans not saying that Nadal did great in Australia you are simply making up stories. There is unequivocal agreement that he did well. It is just that Federer did even better and the focus is understandably on that.

The first doesn't preclude the second and you requiring from Federer fans to talk about how successful Nadal was in such circumstances is nothing short of hilarious.

Also, do not count your chickens .... it is too early. Let us see how will Nadal do when he is going the same path as does Federer now.

What is the actual topic of the thread?

I don't see any and why is it in this section?

If the topic is just 'why is no one posting' any comment, including mine, is relevant.

As for your last sentence: you are a pitiful bunch. You are offensive to the point of impropriety and you complain that you are being banned all the time and your posts deleted?

Would this be trolling?

What is the actual topic of the thread?

Yes.

There is no correlation between Sharapova and the general level of activity on this forum.

In fact, the only activity happening around Sharapova seems to be the one you are generating with your , errr, "efforts".

Or was your comment restricted to you only?

The actual topic of the thread is the posting activity, but that has nothing to do with your post as it was clearly aiming at sparkling another discussion about Dopingapova in any form (which would be the definintion of derailing a thread).

:cool:

If the thread is not specifically about Pro Players it belongs in Odds and Ends, no?

If you are going to justify your posts in this thread with this, I think you have made a mistake with the recipient.

Other than that, I am more than confident that you know what you need to do, if what you say really concerned you (and what you are doing at the moment is not it, which you also know).

:cool:

The reason why posts are down is that the quality of posters has gone down, as there's nothing wrong with the tennis.

An opinion is just that, but the fact that postings are down indicates a decline in interest in TTW.

It would be interesting to see if anyone has further facts.

So where did you get these statistical trends from?

(There used to be a site that tracked all websites, but I forget its name).
